These virtual readings and financial education experiences are going to be a blast. You will not want to miss them and other special experiences being offered through Sammy’s School.
During each 30 minute session children’s author Sam X Renick and special guest readers we will read and bring to life children storybooks that share a lesson on personal finance and/or economists. Additionally, special guests will be provided an opportunity to share a little about themselves, their career and education.
The 30 to 40 minute financial education experience might go something like this:
(1) Introduction
(2) Read storybook
(3) Discuss and review storybook
(4) Q&A with kids including Special Guest sharing a little about themselves.
(5) Close
During the introduction or the Q&A special guests will be asked a few questions like: Tell us about your profession? Where did you go to school and what did you study? Are education and lifelong learning important? Why? What is one of your favorite hobbies? What is one of your big dreams?
See the initial list of books we will be reading below.
Let’s get kids on the road to financial stability, security and freedom while they are young and before they form debilitating money habits and attitudes!
